agree with above.

I believe the argument, one which I agree with, is that using the force is an undocumented error in the physics engine that allows the creation of a very large amount of energy for almost no money, and is out of alignment with rest of the game's economic model. Since scoring is based on money, solutions that exploit this bug are vastly underpriced for some of the levels and make it impossible for legal solutions to be competitive.

As for it "adding life to the game" all I can say is :roll:

I believe the current way of handling it, with a special award for the best forse-using solution, combines the best of both worlds: you still have an economically well-balanced main contest event, but you also get some very interesting solutions using the force that can compete in a special class.

Well, perhaps you are right. As long as the dark solutions get some credit, its cool enough. Then the legal solutions will also get the credit they desurve even as the dark side is way cheaper. BTW: Can one upload one dark solution and one white?

Sure, you can also submit more than one of each, and the best will count.

The force solutions have only been cheaper once :)

Nope twice, don't forget I also made a force solution for the contest I won... IV was it?

And it will probably be three times after the current one ;)

Ah yes, forgot about yours, oops ;)

I shouldn't comment on the second part of your last post :twisted:

Suggestion of crazyiest solution medal

Many people like to make solutions that is not about money but to do thing very complex/crazy/silly/funny etc.

It would be cool if there was a voting for the crazyest after each contest.

Te medal could be clowncolor and smaller then the other. Perhaps a litle ugly on the side. If one person get three of those he will be officialy declared local madman. :D :shock: :o
